Have your ColdFusion WebService return an Array of Structs.
In you Flex code on the "result" event handler for the WebService
operation take the event.result and will a line like this create your
ArrayCollection.
myArrayCollection = event.result as ArrayCollection;
Then bind the myArrayCollection to the dataProvider of the DataGrid.
Roughly something like:
<mx:WebService id="wsSomeService"
wsdl="http://localhost:8500/com/renaun/SomeService.cfc?wsdl";
useProxy="false"
showBusyCursor="true">
<mx:operation name="getItems"
result="dpItems = event.result as ArrayCollection;"/>
</mx:WebService>
<mx:DataGrid dataProvider="{ dpItems }" />
